Special to the New York Times

MOSCOW, March 1—
Following are excerpts from the toasts by Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet leader, and Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish leader, at a dinner in honor of the Polish delegation, as translated by Tass, the Soviet press agency, from the Russian and the Polish: Brezhnev Toast

Our meeting is taking place at a particularly important and responsible moment. This is true from the point of view of Polish affairs, which are complicated and sometimes dramatically difficult. This is also true from the point of view of the general course of international affairs.

We received with full understanding the information on the national decision taken by our Polish friends in order to defend people's power and to cool passions and in order to pull the country out of a protracted, excruciating crisis. These are timely measures. Had the Communists given way to the counterrevolution, had they wavered under the furious attacks by the enemies of socialism, the destinies of Poland, stability in Europe and in the world at large would have been jeopardized.

The bitter lessons or what has happened are something to learn from. And the Communists know how to learn. The striving of the Polish United Workers' Party to clear the practice of socialist construction of everything extraneous, alien to the nature of socialism, is quite natural. Also legitimate is your concern about the restoration of the vanguard role of the working class party, your firm orientations of long standing to raising the political activity of the working people, to rallying the popular masses. The development of genuine democracy, far from weakening socialism, adds endlessly to its strength.

It is not easy for Poland today. The waves of anarchy, chaos and terror would not roll back overnight. The imperialist powers, the United States in the first place, are increasing their pressure on Poland and in doing so trample underfoot law and morals. They would like to bring new trials and ordeals upon the heads of Poles. But let no one hope that socialism will not defend itself. It will. And with all resolution.

Beyond the present complicated day one can already see a better day coming. We helped socialist Poland the best we could and we shall continue helping it. These are not just words.

There is no doubt that both of our countries will benefit by the plans we made for economic cooperation. I want to express profound satisfaction with the fact that the entire course of our negotiations is marked by an identity of views and an identical understanding of current and coming tasks. These talks are characterized by an atmosphere of friendship, comradely solidarity and cordiality. Jaruzelski Toast

Allow me first and foremost to thank you for the warm hospitality accorded to us from the very first moment of our sojourn in the Soviet country, in the land of Lenin.

I am also thankful to you, Leonid Ilyich, for the friendly words you have said about Poland, for your words of support for our party, for all the progressive and patriotic forces of the Polish people.

The relations which unite Poland with its great neighbor are of paramount importance for our people and for our party. The Soviet armed forces, directed by the party and the Soviet Government, together with the armies of the Warsaw Treaty memberstates, are the principal guarantee of peace in Europe and thus the guarantee of security and territorial integrity of our country and of the inviolability of its just and unchangeable borders.

The postwar image of our Continent, based on the Yalta and Potsdam agreements, was paid for by unprecedented human sufferings, a sea of blood and by the heroic struggle of the peoples. Those who wish today to undermine the peaceful order in Europe are offending the memory of the dead and rejecting the lessons of history.

The Soviet Union's well-being, might and world position meet the interests of the Polish People's Republic while the interests of your country are suited by the existence of a strong independent socialist Poland on which one can rely.

Comrades, we have arrived here at a moment that is extremely difficult for our country. Last year the forces of counterrevolution backed by imperialist centers brought the country into a state of anarchy, dealing telling blows on the economy, aggravated everyday difficulties in the life of society, created a threat to the mainstays of Polish socialist statehood. The Military Council of National Salvation was formed in this situation. The state council decided to introduce martial law. Time confirms their correctness. Stabilization is setting in, but the struggle continues.

Poland is in a very grave economic situation. Our situation is also being significantly complicated by the economic sanctions introduced by the American Administration as well as - under its pressure - by the governments of other capitalist countries.

Against this backdrop, becoming ever more evident is the tremendous importance of the irreplaceable internationalist assistance that is being give to us by the U.S.S.R.

We want again to cordially thank for this assistance the Soviet people, the leadership of the party and the Government as well as you, Comrade Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, personally. Poland will not abandon the road of socialism. It will not be its weak link.
